We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Chemin Grenier in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
